Zebra TC51 — style meets rugged performance
Hello to the next generation of enterprise handhelds: a 5-inch Android device that feels like a flagship smartphone yet shrugs off dust, drops and long shifts. The TC51 couples an IP65-sealed, Gorilla Glass clad body with enterprise-only features such as programmable Active Edge keys, Mobility DNA security and a lightning-fast SE4710 1D/2D imager.

Why teams refresh to the TC51
Zebra set out to merge consumer-grade ergonomics with mission-critical durability and it shows. Workers get a bright, glove-friendly 5″ display, programmable side zones for one-touch workflows, and Android that is pre-hardened with Zebra’s Mobility Extensions (Mx). Ops leaders gain a platform that runs Marshmallow today, is forward-compatible with the next two Android generations, and collects deep battery analytics for proactive maintenance — hello to smarter fleet management.
